South America’s most awesome road trips
Drop everything, steal a Land Rover, and go!
These epic road trips are about as far south as you can get in the Western Hemisphere.
Click 'About' for all the info! Travel Chores has run into a few minor legal issues that are currently being cleared up.
Travel Chores provides exclusive discounted prices on accommodation around the world to travel members in exchange for a small amount of work, running an errand, or even simply for being a member! We hope to be running by Summer 2013.
****We may seem small now, but word-of-mouth spreads quick! Travel Chores will be providing absolutely FREE 6-month memberships to the first 1,000 future travelers
who catch our attention. All YOU need to do is POST ON OUR WALL your future travel plans and something rad you'll be doing! Oh, and those of you who can spread the word will get a few more months added on ;). As a past, present, or future world explorer, we all know that the expenses of traveling can cut our backpacking journeys short, limit our experiences abroad, or even cancel a vacation before it takes place. Travel Chores is here to help with one of the most expensive parts of your future plans; nightly accommodation. We provide exclusive prices on stays with our partnered hostels/guest-houses/home-stays in exchange for anything from an hour of guest laundry (an excuse for that extra hour of rest before strapping that bag up again) to a quick grocery run (because you drank all of their beer last night) to simply the time you took to become a Travel Chores member (because you’re awesome). These exclusive prices can be anywhere from a small nightly discount to a few nights of free stay! We know what you’re thinking…”They say ‘free stay,’ but I’ll never see that once I’m a member.” FALSE! Besides the chances that our partners offer a free night on their own for a bigger chore or simply because they rock, your own personalized membership profile will build with your travel experiences, meaning YOU are in control of getting bigger and better discounts as your journey moves along! Why should you become a member??
-EXCLUSIVE prices on hostels/guest-houses/home-stays around the globe
-USER PROFILE that includes...
---ability to set up personal travel map and get deals close to your location
---social networking between travelers to discuss locations, chores, and even plan local meetups
---ratings per chore done - better ratings mean more experience, leading to bigger discounts
---ability to check off chores you are qualified for, enabling access to more discounts
-BUILD "TC Points" with each stay, leading to FREE nights or other rewards, on us!
-EMAIL/TEXT/PUSH updates
-SECURE payment, always through us
-OPTIONAL Premium Membership that includes...
---book and pay later
---prepay account before trip
---bring guests on same discounted rates
-NO continuous contracts necessary, start and stop at your convenience
..plus much, much more!
